Million Dollar Blog A book review
Natasha Courtenay Smith, a former journalist, is a blogging mentor to many people including some celebrities in the UK. She has helped them build a brand online and helped other bloggers with strategies to monetise their blog.
In this book, she has interviews with some of the top names in the world of blogging including, Seth Godin, Grace Bonney, Grant Cardone, Chris Brogan, Guido Fawkes, Heather Armstrong, Madeleine Shaw and Lily Pebbles.
I especially liked reading the inspiring interviews with the bloggers and seeing how everyone has a different approach to content and brand building. One thing every blogger agreed on was authenticity. Your readers will be able to tell when you are not being yourself.
There are a lot of nuggets of great information and practical advice to be learnt from this book, regardless of where you are with your blogging. Will this book make you rich? It might, but you will have to read it and apply the lessons.
